Security Hardware
Model 354-71x Series Telephones are vandal-resistant; the front panel is attached to the enclosure with
security screws. A GAI-Tronics Model 233-001 Security Screwdriver (sold separately) or Torx T-25
security head tip (included with the telephone) is required to install the security screws.
Conduit Installation
GAI-Tronics recommends installing telephone cable in conduit to protect against damage and vandalism.
Mounting and wiring the Model 354-71x Series telephones must be in accordance with installation
standard practices.
Entering the enclosure from the top is not recommended. Bottom (preferred) or side entry helps prevent
condensation moisture from dripping onto the telephone electronics. If using conduit, an appropriate hub
(Myers STG Series recommended) or a UL Listed NEMA 4X rated connector appropriate for the
installation should be used. If a top entry must be made, a drip path is strongly recommended. Seal all
conduit entrances around the entry points and inside the conduit using a silicone-type sealant.
The Model 354-71x Series Telephones are not supplied with openings for conduit or cable. Conduit
entrances must be created prior to mounting the enclosure to the wall surface.
1.
Open the door and remove the front panel assembly (carefully set aside).
2.
Drill (hole saw) or punch entry openings.
There must be a minimum of 1 inch (26 mm) of material between entry holes.
1.
Install hubs or fittings.
Mount the Enclosure
Mount the enclosure using the four 0.437-inch (11mm) diameter holes located on the mounting flanges
with 3/8-inch (M8) hardware (see Figure 4).
•
The recommended entry is via the enclosure bottom to prevent moisture from dripping onto the
connection terminals.
•
Use caution to avoid damaging the internal components when mounting the enclosure.
•
The suggested mounting height is 48 inches (1219 mm) to the center of the bottom mounting holes of
the enclosure.
